I completely understand, milking by yourself is tough especially if you have a job off the farm. When I graduated highschool in 2015 I went to Ohio State University to pursue a degree in dairy science thinking by the time I graduated milk prices would come back and I would be able to milk a few cows for a hobby and some side cash, I even tore a rapid release flat parlor set-up out of a partially collapsed milking parlor and had it put in my barn. I had to crawl in on my knees with a sledge hammer and saw to tear it out, pus I completely rewired and redid the plumbing in the milk house on the farm I live on. After all that work and some I didn't mention. I still haven't milked in the barn and its going on 4 years. I do own 10 registered jerseys though, they are loaned out to another farm and are brought home when they are dry, so when milk prices come back I'll be waiting. Until then I'll continue to grain farm. Also you mentioned some cow genetics LOL, 2 years ago I bought a chisel plow from a guy off of craigslist, we got to talking and come to find out he used to milk jerseys up until the early 2000's, and still had a tank full of semen straws he had kept charged in case he ever wanted to milk again. I offered him $50 for the tank full of straws, and I mean full to the point that you couldn't get anymore in, he accepted the offer to my surprise. So far the oldest straw I have pulled out of the tank was dated 1981.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
